In this memoir , which I have ventured to regard in the light 

 of a monument dedicated to the memory of my late friend S. G. 

 Snellen van VoUenhoven (whose love for the insects of the family 

 Ichneumonidae has been fully manifested in the pages of the 

 Tijdschrift voor Entomologie) , I have brought together descriptions 

 and ligures of some of the most remarkable species of the group 

 with which I am acquainted. I regi-et that of some of the species 

 I have not been able to give an analysis of the parts of the 

 mouth , the individuals at my disposal being often unique. 



Synopsis of the species described in this memoir. 



1. Snellenius Vollenhovii Westw. (New Guinea). 



2. Agathophiona fulvicornis Westw. (Mexico). 



3. Agathirsia rufula Westw. (Mexico).
